DOVER — A New Durham man was indicted in Strafford County Superior Court last week on a manufacture of a controlled drug charge after police seized more than twenty marijuana plants at his home in September.

Garrett Probert, 52, of 50 Kings Highway, is facing the special felony charge after his arrest back in September when police searched his home after receiving a tip that he was growing marijuana on the property.

Local police, working in conjunction with Wolfeboro police, executed the search warrant on his property and seized 27 marijuana plants as well as paraphernalia including seeds, growing equipment, fertilizers, and various devices used for smoking marijuana.

Each of the plants seized can produce up to a pound of marijuana, according to police.

The special felony charge carries a maximum sentence of 3.5 to 7 years in prison and up to $100,000 in fines.

Probert is scheduled for arraignment in the Strafford County Superior Court on Jan. 3 at 9 a.m.
